Things To Do

Sherpa House Restaurant and Culture Center

Always our 1st restaurant recommendation for visitors! We got dinner here the night we got engaged!

Coors Brewery Tour

Book an appointment on Coors' website! It wasn't always this way, but tours now require booking reservations a month+ in advance!

Pangea Coffee Roasters

Golden City Brewery

The 2nd largest brewery in Golden!

New Terrain Brewing Company

One of our favorite breweries in Golden. Impeccable brews, views, and vibes. A great place to kick off a hike, run, or bike ride on North Table Mountain.

The Golden Mill

A great spot to grab a bite and beverage of choice in downtown Golden. Located along beautiful Clear Creek and a a stone's throw away from Coors.

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre

Red Rocks Amphitheatre is a geological phenomenon – the only naturally-occurring, acoustically perfect amphitheatre in the world!

Ace-Hi Tavern

Find yourself in need of a dive bar fix with the weirdest conglomerate of folks from different ages and local Golden spirits that transcend time? They've got karaoke, pool, and excellent price points on all things Coors. Roll the dice for a mystery shot if you dare. Be careful though, the locals bite.

Bob's Atomic Burgers

Bob’s Atomic Burgers is located one block east of downtown. Bob’s serves an old-fashioned burger made your way. When you come into Bob’s Atomic Burgers you fill out a burger sleeve and create your own favorite burger, grilled or fried chicken, quinoa, or black bean burger with various toppings like green chilis, grilled onions or a fried egg. Bob’s Atomic Burgers is a unique and delicious experience.

D'Deli

D'Deli is a Golden sandwich shop that's been open since 1975. There's almost always a line out the door, but the friendly staff is happy to chat and joke around as they sling together ingredients. The classics are covered, but you can also opt for unique and confounding combinations from their huge menu.

South Table Mountain - Fossil Trail Trailhead

We got engaged on South Table! A great spot for an easy hike and a break from all the chaos.

Clear Creek Trail

A downtown Golden staple. Park near Lions Park and enjoy the beauty this easy paved trail has to offer! If you are feeling bold, soak your feet or go for a full-on polar plunge!

Golden History Museum & Park

Golden History Museum & Park is a vibrant public space for uncovering Golden's past. The museum, featuring historical Coors objects, a hands-on gallery for families, a gift shop, and more, is open and free Tuesday-Saturday 10 AM-4:30 PM. The History Park where you can feed the chickens and see historic cabins is open and free from sunup to sundown, daily.

Mines Museum of Earth Science

The Colorado School of Mines Earth Sciences Museum offers extensive displays of minerals, fossils, meteorites, gems, and a walk-through mine featuring UV minerals. Watch a local geology video, see moon rocks from 2 Apollo missions, and walk along the outdoor geology trail with many fossils. This is the 2nd most visited earth science museum on an American college campus.
